In this game, 28 cards are dealt out on the table, face up, in the form of a pyramid. Dealing begins with one top card, then two cards placed directly underneath that card, slightly covering the top card, then three cards dealt directly underneath that row, slightly covering the previous row. Dealing continues until 28 cards have been dealt out and there is a row of seven cards on the bottom row. The remaining cards are set on the table, face down, to form the draw pile.

The player begins the play by selecting two exposed cards that is equal to 13 in value and removing them from the pile. A King is worth 13 points, the Queen is worth 12 points, the Jack is worth 11 points, the Ace is worth 1 point and the rest of the cards are taken at face value.
